ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                     6 FEBRUARY 2014



     Council Resolution

     Moved:           Cr Wilkie
     Seconded:        Cr Wellington

     That Council:
     A.   Refuse Application No. MCU13/0087 for a Development Permit for Material Change
          of Use of Premises (Tavern, Retail Shops & Salons, Offices, Adult Education and
          Multiple Dwellings) for the following reasons:
          1.     The proposal is contrary to the overall and specific outcomes for the
                 Community Services zone under The Noosa Plan;
          2.     The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated that the Community Services
                 zoned land should not be retained for uses commensurate with that zone;
          3.     The proposed tavern and liquor store will adversely impact on the surrounding
                 amenity and the community’s use of public spaces;
          4.     The proposed development will result in the loss of public car parking and
                 parkland area and the loss of public parking is likely to adversely impact on the
                 Noosa Junction precinct;
          5.     Insufficient community benefit has been demonstrated to justify the loss of
                 council owned land; and
          6.     The proposed development raises significant conflicts with The Noosa Plan and
                 there are insufficient grounds to justify the conflict with the planning scheme,
                 with no significant community benefit or urgent need demonstrated for the
                 proposed commercial and retail uses.
     B.   Request a further report be presented outlining a suggested process for reviewing the
          Noosa Junction Placemaking Masterplan including the Masterplan’s strategies for
          planning, built form and development on the Noosa Heads Bowls Club site since
          Council does not necessarily support the level of additional commercial and retail
          development that could flow from some of the proposed actions contained in the
          Masterplan.

                                                                                         Carried.




Noosa Shire Council                                                                 Page 9 of 12
